Whether a scientific article is based on a research method that is experimental, descriptive, comparative, or based on modeling, the article will almost certainly have an Introduction section. In some journals, however, this section might be called the “Background” instead.

In Practice Sets 2A-2J, you will engage in exercises aimed at improving your ability to create your own Introduction section for assignments such as lab reports, field reports, science fair posters, and original research articles.
